Food Art: Food for the Eyes

The food art movement is a revival of the surrealist movement and uses many of the same techniques, such as using multiple objects to create a larger image and bending familiar objects to communicate a new idea. It was also caused by an increased awareness about what we eat.

This piece by Balla Tamas is called “Walk of Life”. He uses the leading lines of the table as well as the rule of thirds to lead the viewer’s eye towards the food processor, where the orange man is also heading. The diagonal lines of the table also create a sense of motion, as if the orange man is just about to take another step.
